Versed Skin Refine Gentle Pore Clearing Serum — 30 ml | 8% Mandelic + 0.2% Salicylic for Hydrated, Smooth Texture

Versed Skin Refine is a daily gentle exfoliating serum that refines pores and smooths texture using mandelic and salicylic acids while keeping skin hydrated.

Designed as a lightweight, everyday treatment, this 30 ml serum blends 8% mandelic acid, 0.2% salicylic acid and 0.5% willow bark extract with glycerin to help unclog pores, minimize roughness and brighten dull skin without causing tightness. The formula targets congestion and visible texture while remaining free of parabens, silicones, sulfates, phthalates and synthetic fragrances, making it a clean, vegan option for many skin types.

How does this serum gently exfoliate without over-drying?

The product combines a higher-percentage AHA (mandelic acid) with a low level of BHA (salicylic acid) plus willow bark extract to loosen dead skin and clear pore buildup. Glycerin is included to restore and maintain hydration so skin stays comfortable during daily use.

• 8% mandelic acid for surface exfoliation and smoother tone
• 0.2% salicylic acid to penetrate and help decongest pores
• 0.5% willow bark extract as a plant-derived clarifier
• Glycerin to retain moisture and prevent tightness

When and how should I add it to my routine?

Use this serum after cleansing and before heavier creams or oils; a thin layer is sufficient. Start with every-other-day use if you have sensitive skin, then increase to daily as tolerated, and always follow with sunscreen in the daytime.

• Apply after cleansing and toning, on dry skin
• Use a pea-sized amount across face, avoiding eye area
• Begin gradually (every other night) if you’re new to acids
• Finish with moisturizer and SPF in the morning

What results can I expect and how soon?

Visible smoothing of texture and improved pore appearance often appear within a few weeks of consistent use, while reduction in congestion and post-breakout marks can develop with continued application. Individual outcomes depend on skin type and routine consistency.

• Smoother texture with regular nightly or daily use
• Less visible pore congestion over several weeks
• Improved brightness and reduced dullness
• Supports clearer-looking skin without heavy drying

Is this safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Formulated to be gentle, the serum uses mandelic acid’s larger molecular size for milder exfoliation and keeps salicylic acid at a low percentage. It’s dermatologist-tested and free from common irritants, but patch testing and a gradual introduction are advised for very reactive skin.

• Vegan and cruelty-free with clean ingredient profile
• No parabens, synthetic fragrance, silicones or drying alcohols
• Patch test recommended for reactive skin types
• Adjust frequency based on sensitivity and tolerance

Who this is for: Versed Skin Refine Gentle Pore Clearing Serum suits anyone seeking a balanced daily exfoliant—those with clogged pores, uneven texture or dull tone who prefer a gentle, hydration-supporting formula. It’s a practical choice for users who want measurable texture improvement without harsh stripping, and for skincare shoppers who prioritize clean, cruelty-free ingredients.
